Are people finally going to wake up to Gates and the other creatures of evil pushing the fake “climate change” (via “emissions”) narrative? Or are the “sheeple” really going to swallow the idea that the only way to “save the planet” is to destroy our forests and then to bury the trees cut down? Could the forces of Evil behind all this be more obvious?

A typical System drone. Puppet.

Speaking of System puppets, I was curious to find out what that horrible woman, Jacina Ardern, might now be doing. Well, she had, as Prime Minister of New Zealand, accumulated tens of millions of NZ dollars, which itself is a puzzle since she was paid, as PM, about NZ$ 450,000 (~£200,000) per year (and at least a third of that goes in income tax).

Whatever the truth of how transnational System puppet Jacinda Ardern accumulated so many millions in only a few years in office (and she is from a rather modest, if not poor, background), she is now (since early 2023) in a number of positions, including working for a Jewish-funded centre at Harvard which focusses on “online extremism” (no doubt mainly or entirely on social-nationalism). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinda_Ardern#Post-premiership.

Another puppet of Evil.

Justin Trudeau, yet another world System drone and puppet.

Another typical System drone and puppet, Lisa Nandy. Mixed-race (English/Indian), not atypical of those pushed forward as part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

As with all the System puppets, pseudo-liberalistic on the surface but dictatorial not far underneath.

Trade unions were once about the pay and conditions (and wider social needs) of “working people” who, at that time, were 99% or more British. Now, the useless rump “trade unions” still operating are basically a propaganda outfit for the System (especially the Labour-label part of the System in the UK), pushing “anti-racism” and other nonsense (including “trans” nonsense and “refugees welcome” dimwittery).

Look at that clip again. Mostly non-whites and some retirement-age women who look “batshit” crazy.

Rent-a-mob out in Wigan today after it was announced another hotel has been commandeered by The Home Office to house illegals. All these people holding trade union & SUTR banners are supporting Tory policy. Not far from where they are standing Ablolom Okbazge, an Eritrean asylum seeker housed at the local Britannia Hotel, stalked a woman & subjected her to a one hour rape ordeal – “refugees” welcome?

Rape? Really? I had no idea that Jewish-lobby mouthpiece and expenses fraudster Gove raped anyone; but then, until a few years ago, I had no idea that the sick little bastard was both a cocaine abuser and a drunk who is effectively an alcoholic.

On the subject of the aerated concrete, which is full of holes, has little strength, and which is liable over time to deteriorate to the extent of then suddenly collapsing, I am amazed.

How is it possible for concrete of that sort ever to have been approved as a building material for anything beyond the simplest one-storey structures such as garden sheds? The same question came to my mind after the Grenfell Tower fire. How was it even possible to approve as a cladding material something actually very flammable? Mad.

I have known for a long time that most British architects are rubbish; now it seems that the same is true of our builders and civil engineers (and regulators). Shameful.

I see that one of the hundreds of buildings affected by the RAAC (aerated concrete) scandal is Harrow Crown Court, where I spent a relatively few days in 1992 as a belated Bar pupil (aged 35), looking on as our defendants appeared on charges of GBH, robbery etc. Apparently, the Court has been closed at short notice, and is now shut, probably indefinitely, by reason of the RAAC danger. I presume that it will eventually have to be demolished.

What I find incredible (though actually all too typical in the Britain of 2023) is that this rather unpleasant and not well-educated woman became, not only an MP but then, having been selected/elected as MP only in 2017, Secretary of State (for Education etc) by late 2022. Only 5 years.

The city of Donetsk has been under bombardment and aerial attack by the Kiev regime for 9 years now, since 2014.

Americans who want to put America first, in front of NWO/ZOG, the Jewish lobby, Israel etc usually get persecuted by the Jewish/Israel lobby. Other examples: Pat Buchanan, who referred to the “Amen Corner” (Op-Ed section) in the New York Times (among other outlets of the Israel lobby); also, James Baker, one of the best Secretaries of State the USA ever had (Gorbachev rated him highly).

When you look at the “refugees welcome” dimwits posting in favour of the migration-invasion, the English ones are mostly rather comfortably-off late middle-aged women living in places such as Norwich, Abergavenny etc. Telling…

It has already been three months since the Ukrainian army launched the long-announced “counter-offensive”, with the aim of capturing Melitopol, Berdyansk and possibly Mariupol in order to cut off the Russian land corridor between the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Crimean Peninsula. Despite great efforts from the beginning of July to September, Ukrainian forces advanced between seven and 10 kilometers in depth (in the vicinity of Robotin and Urozhajn), occupying most of the forward positions in front of the “Surovikin Line” and several villages, i.e. about 200 square kilometers.”

The Kiev-regime “counter-offensive” has failed, or perhaps 95% failed. Only the talking head pseudo-experts of Sky News and the BBC seem to be unaware of the fact.

The “refugees welcome” dimwits of the UK will only wake up when that is happening in their own neighbourhoods. If their rotten treachery continues, they may indeed see it some day, a little way down the line.

Two suspected ringleaders behind a day of chaos on London‘s Oxford Street, where police clashed with youths over fears of TikTok-inspired looting, were arrested last night.

Terrified shoppers were locked inside stores as staff pulled their shutters down yesterday afternoon as groups of youths gathered in the area after rumours on social media that gangs were going to ‘rob JD Sports’ and shoplift.

Shocking videos showed Metropolitan Police officers wielding batons and chasing after people in Europe’s busiest shopping street, with photos earlier in the day appearing to show one cop being punched in the face by a young man. 

Some youths were seen being wrestled away by officers in handcuffs, while others were detained on suspicion of going equipped to steal and breaching dispersal orders.

Police issued 34 dispersal orders, including one to TikTok prankster Mizzy who was seen by police in the area days after failing to appear before magistrates for breaching a court order. He later released a video insisting he was not involved in the disorder on Wednesday.

Hundreds of blacks, but only two arrests? Also, they are often afraid of dogs, so why not use Alsatians in large numbers? Let the dogs loose to bite the untermenschen. Restore order to the streets.

The 40-year-old, reportedly a doctor who was on holiday in the country with two members of his family, was killed in the Ntlangano Crescent area of Cape Town last Thursday, officials said.

It is believed he had taken a wrong turn from the nearby Cape Town International Airport while driving with two other people when a group approached the vehicle and shot him.”

These days, you hear little about the supposedly wonderful post-apartheid South Africa and its supposed “rainbow nation” (more msm lies, of course). Even the BBC has gone pretty quiet on all that nonsense. As for white South Africans, most have voted with their feet and left the country. The proportion of whites in the SA population is now very small, and continues to fall.

[note: whites were 22% of the population in 1911, still 16% in 1980 (the black population having exploded thanks to food and medical services under apartheid…), but now somewhere around 7% or even 6%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_South_Africa#Ethnic_groups].

Seven planets will retrograde at the same time in 2023: Key dates for your calendar…

Astrologers have warned people to be prepared for changes for the rest of the year as the planets move backwards.

Seven planets will retrograde – and almost all of them will happen at the same time.

Astrologers say we all need to be prepared for challenges that will force us to “take stock” or “review” our habits or circumstances – even if we don’t feel as if we are ready to do so, with the shift in the stars that is set to happen imminently.

Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the seven planets that will all make a backwards move through the sky in the coming months, something that will affect us all through our astrology charts...

During this small window of intense retrograde action, be on alert for any profound shifts or thought-provoking insights around 4 September 2023.

Young people“…meaning blacks. Correction: 95% blacks, 4% other non-whites, and maybe 1% real/white British.

They cannot create a civilization or culture, or maintain one already created by others, or even live in such a culture and civilization. So what is the answer? (answers on a postcard to 10 Downing Street).

Can anyone honest claim that they add anything at all positive to our country, to our way of life?

It would not matter if 99.9% of the world population were to disappear tomorrow, so long as the remaining 0.1% consisted mainly or entirely of (ideally) reasonably cultured and educated white European or European-descended people. In fact, it would be a wonderful new start for our world, a foundation on which could be built, over time, the basis for a quantum leap in human evolution and the evolution of consciousness.

Russia must and will eventually control all Ukraine east of the Dnieper (including all of Kiev), as well as Crimea, and also a coastal strip about 50-100 miles deep on the Black Sea, from the western bank of the Dnieper estuary to Transdniestria.

The SNP, in the contemporary era, say since the 1990s, is a complete System party, completely pro all the schemes of NWO/ZOG and the Jew-Zionist lobby.

The Biden family make Trump look like Mr. Clean, and even make the Clintons look not too bad.

Yes. It’s almost funny that the UK “security and intelligence” bods are still fighting the last war (in their case, the Cold War). They focus on Russian intelligence, or on British people publishing tweets or blogs, and call it “counter-terrorism” (even Alison Chabloz, the satirical singer, was arrested on such a basis, ludicrously); meanwhile about 3,000 non-whites a day invade the UK, hundreds of them in rubber boats across the Channel, the rest via plane, ferry etc. Then there are the births to non-Brits— huge numbers, every single day.

Many Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] decisions are really political decisions.

British people who do not want a million migrant-invaders a year coming to the UK (as at present) are “bigots“, says Kevin Maguire, the scribbler and talking head who gets paid hundreds of thousands a year to scribble and spout his kneejerk Labour-tribalist opinions.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12297233/PROFESSOR-FRANK-FUREDI-contempt-unelected-buffoons-House-Lords.html

As a child aged just nine, I endured the longest and most terrifying night of my life, fleeing with my family from our home.

Nearly 70 years later, every detail of that escape is still burned into my memory. All my life I have had the deepest sympathy for fellow refugees: those who leave behind everything they own and everyone they know to reach safety.

It was at the beginning of winter in 1956 that the Furedi family fled Hungary. My father was one of the leaders of the workers’ councils in Budapest organising resistance to Soviet Union control. That culminated in an uprising, which was mercilessly crushed by Red Army tanks and troops.

Many of these peers inhabit a fantasy world. The soaring numbers of illegal migrants entering Britain don’t lose them any sleep at night. In their ermined world, any attempt to find a practical solution to the problem is dismissed as ‘isolationist’, ‘morally unacceptable’ and ‘impractical’.

The BBC is equally detached from reality.

As a university sociologist, listening to the whining in the Lords, I cannot help but draw the conclusion that the very existence of this narcissistic, unelected, unaccountable chamber is a political corruption of democracy.

[Daily Mail]

Completely correct.

One of the worst abusers of the House of Lords system is “Lord” Alf Dubs, a half-Jew whose (Jewish) father fled from Prague in 1938, leaving behind his (Austrian) wife and his son (they arrived in London a year later).

Alf Dubs, Labour MP for 8 years before later joining the misnamed “Lords”, was (maybe still is) a cheeky freeloader and expenses cheat (by any other name):

Dubs lists his main home as a cottage in the Lake District in Cumbria, which enabled him to claim over £26,000 of overnight subsistence expenses in 2007–08,[15][16] although he has lived in Notting Hill, London, since 1964. In May 2009, he argued in justification that Lords regard the overnight allowance as a payment in lieu of salary. “We are the only legislators in the world that don’t get paid,” he said. “The overnight thing is quite generous because it compensates for not having a salary. In practice that’s how it works.

[Wikipedia]

That was 15+ years ago. I wonder how much the old fraud drags down these days while trying to import as many migrant-invaders as possible to batten upon the British people who, generously but wrongheadedly, gave him and his parents refuge in 1938 and 1939?

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23654056.world-war-two-veteran-made-homeless-eviction/

A 98-YEAR-OLD war veteran who is battling cancer has been evicted from his bungalow and is now homeless.

Alfred Guenigault, who served in World War Two as a paratrooper, was issued with a no-fault eviction notice two months ago by the landlord of the Ferndown bungalow he has lived in for the past seven years. 

He is now living in St Gabriels hostel in Verwood with his daughter Deb Dean and her husband Bert and says he feels “terrible” about the situation..

The great-grandfather-of-six-fears he will not be able to see his grandchildren from his new residence.

The family was forced to pack up their belongings and leave Ferndown on Thursday afternoon.

They turned to the council for help, which told them to go to First Point, a Dorset-based support service.

Deb said: “They were amazing and helped us so much with the forms and explaining things and told us we were eligible for a bungalow. 

“They said there is a duty to house us temporarily, which we understand, but we didn’t think it would be in a hostel.” 

Deb said the one room provided for them is empty, with no beds, apart from one provided by the hospital for the veteran, and has a shared kitchen and bathroom.

He also won’t be able to see any of his church friends who come over to see him or the vicar as well; his life is here in Ferndown.

Deb, a pensioner herself, lives with her father as his full-time carer while he battles cancer and severe kidney disease and said the situation is “very unfair” on her dad in his final years.

She added: “Dad has his carers in three to four times a day and I have to be with him 24 hours a day but because I recently became a pensioner, they have stopped my carer’s allowance which is about £700. 

We are told we will be in a hostel for six to eight months and it’s very unfair on him.

My concern is that in six months, he may not even be here anymore.”

Mr Guenigault, who has been awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honour by the French government, said: “None of my grandchildren will be able to stay in the hostel. I feel terrible, but mostly for Deb. 

I also have to change my doctor, who is brilliant, as it is outside the area, but I don’t want to do that.” 

A spokesman for Dorset Council said the authority will work with the family to find suitable accommodation in “as short a timescale as possible” but that they “need to be realistic about what is achievable in the current climate”.

“The council takes the Military Covenant very seriously and has a former veteran working within the team so really do appreciate the sacrifice our veterans make.”

[Bournemouth Echo].

Britain 2023…

Several points come to mind.

First of all, the sheer injustice of the whole “no fault eviction” laws. I know that such “no-fault evictions” are going to be banned [see https://www.blandy.co.uk/about/news-and-insights/insights/the-end-of-no-fault-evictions-what-does-this-mean-for-landlords-and-tenants] but that new law has yet to be passed.

Secondly, that landlord (a buy-to-let parasite?) is a prime subject for “naming and shaming”, if there ever was one.

Thirdly, how unjust that the old man’s daughter is now deprived of her Carer’s Allowance just because she has now become eligible for a slightly higher weekly amount by way of State Pension.

Fourthly, there would at least be decent alternative accommodation available for people like this were Britain not flooded with millions of black and brown migrant-invaders and other immigrants (“other” including about 150,000 bloody Ukrainians alone since last year).

Lastly, note the meaningless weaselling by the local council about the “Military Covenant” brought in by the government of David Cameron-Levita. Just lip-service. Useless.

At some point, Britain will explode, one way or another. This whole situation is unsustainable, and insupportable.

A final thought on this: is there no ex-members’ welfare organization attached to the Parachute Regiment that might help?

Of the well-known charities, Cats Protection is a good one, usually (the local branches are run semi-autonomously, I believe). The Cats Protection branch near Exeter was, probably still is, very good.

While I have no reason to think that “Captain Tom” was other than “well-meaning”, that whole thing was just a ridiculous “silly season” kind of story, and was pushed by the mass media because it tended to validate the idea that NHS service is wonderful and that the NHS was only failing in its main mission because overwhelmed by the “Covid” virus (that in fact, statistically, killed very few people).

I was always suspicious of the hangers-on, especially the daughter, who now turns out to be yet another “grifter” or even fraudster, like so many around today: “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, Jolyon Maugham, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. Hundreds of this or that type are on Twitter alone.

As for the NHS, the cartoon below seems to encapsulate the public debate:

The NHS principle (“free at point of use”) is one I support, but it is clear that the NHS has lost its way. It —like the Welfare State generally— cannot work when mass immigration causes an endless line of new demand for its services. Also, maladministration has been patent for years, indeed for at least two decades. At present, the NHS is not really “doing what it says on the tin”. It is now a very hit-and-miss service.

They never really tried. Yet another political scam. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan requires Europe to be invaded by non-Europeans, particularly blacks and browns, and to be ruled by Jews and part-Jews. Look around you…

As far as the Channel migration-invasion is concerned, once a small number of boats were sunk (by Britain’s otherwise now-pointless Royal Navy), and that fact publicized, few others would even try; but the existing political system is either too weak, or implicated in the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy, to take the initial harsh decision required.

Thus, instead of sinking the boats of the invaders, the Navy ferries the invaders to Dover, assisted by other corrupted organizations such as the RNLI, the Coastguard, the Border Force (“Farce”) etc.

I agree almost completely. The NHS is an object-lesson in maladministration, particularly the hospital sector.

As blogged previously, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder.

Crazy Jewish woman, who holds herself out as being an expert in international relations and foreign trade, displays a complete lack of understanding, perhaps wilfully.

If Ukraine (Kiev regime) is allowed to join NATO, before very long there will be a situation created which might trigger “Article 5”, meaning that there would be war between Russia and the NATO states. The UK might then be subject to attack by strategic nuclear weapons. Nein danke…

That is, in fact, Zelensky’s only real chance of achieving any sort of “victory” in this war, to have a revolution in Russia, thus collapsing the front-line; as in 1917, when Russia was facing the Central Powers.

Russia has money coming out of its ears. The economic sanctions put in place by the EU, USA and UK have actually strengthened the Russian economy and strategically-hastened the fall of the post-1945 international order. The sanctions have mainly hit the taxpayers of the Western powers.

Russia needs to strengthen its culture, and cut back on the products and values coming out of Hollywood, New York and other such centres of decadence. Films, TV, pop music etc.

I happened to see the two ridiculous tweets below:

So the often-heavily-criticized Jolyon Maugham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham], a part-Jew barrister and “activist”, here supporting egregious and self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis, is applauded by one Charlotte Proudman, apparently a mainly academic lawyer and barrister who has attended or researched at no less than five universities in the UK and USA. I do not think that I had heard of her before today.

Ms. Proudman should read my blog posts, written several years ago about Lewis, before expressing an opinion:

So far from having been “grossly unfair“, as Ms. Proudman opines (having apparently read only a brief and one-sided scribble on the Legal Business online platform), the decision of the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority [SRA] regarding Lewis was impeccably fair and, in punishing Lewis very leniently, bent over backwards to be fair. Even his small fine was reduced from £7,500 to £2,500 because his Counsel said on his behalf that Lewis (the ludicrously so-called “top lawyer“, if you believe the tabloid Press) owned no real property, and in fact owned nothing at time of the hearing in 2018 but his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter.

After the SRA hearing, Lewis took off for Israel, where he now lives.

Looking at what Lewis wrote online to various people, including a Jewish teenager, I was surprised that Lewis was not struck off the roll of solicitors.

I wonder whether Ms. Proudman thinks that the decision of the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in my case was “grossly unfair“? I doubt it, even though I was both wrongfully, and actually unlawfully, disbarred (at the instigation of a pack of politically-motivated Jews) for having merely tweeted five (5) tweets, all of which were completely true and accurate: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Incidentally, this (below) is the profile photograph of herself that Ms. Proudman seems to think appropriate to publish on her Twitter account (which profile describes her as a barrister etc):

i.e. “trans” persons, not “women“…

Polls of that sort are of course unscientific, and anything on Twitter more so, because of the well-known biases. All the same, it is clear that the present Government has run out of road. It is hitting as many buttons as possible to shore up at least the core Conservative-leaning vote: pledging to retain the pension Triple Lock, pledging to at least reduce net immigration (how about stopping the inward flow, and starting an outward flow?) etc, but it seems hopeless.

Actions speak louder than words. Something that the “Conservative” Party ministers and Prime Ministers of the past 13+ years seem not to understand. Mass immigration has continued unabated under Sunak and, as Chancellor, he also paused, for one year, the Triple Lock.

Ha. I like that.

Interesting gadget. Hope that the thieves who steal car keys from entrance hall tables do not find out about it, though (having said that, I doubt that many car thieves read my blog).

“Jack Monroe” is surely a busted flush. Even the utter mugs donating to her on Patreon are waking up: 396 as of today, the first time that the number has dropped below 400 (only a few days ago it was still 414). Last year, there were nearly 900 of those mugs, partly by reason of (now effectively withdrawn) endorsements by TV talking heads and cuisine “experts” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner (and others).

Still, 396 mugs each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 monthly. As said previously, “not a bad little earner“, to use the Essex argot. Must still add up to at least a few thousand in cash. Monthly. For nothing.

If the fall continues, “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, may have to either go on the dole or whatever again (she made a whole media career out of having done that once, for a year or so, a decade or more ago). Or perhaps her affluent/wealthy family of buy-to-let parasites, who live in the same area as her, will help her out. I doubt whether she would be employable as anything. I read somewhere that she has only had a couple of jobs (for short periods, and long ago), one arranged via her father, answering the telephones at the Essex fire brigade, the other in a fish and chip shop.

Until today, I was unaware that Maugham no longer practises as a barrister in chambers (he specialized in tax law). Apparently, he left his last chambers in 2020.

Look at that twit.

I have seen tweets saying that Maugham is a “grifter”, living off donations to the Good Law Project. I have no idea whether that be so, and I also note that the GLP is supported by not only individual donations but also large grants from several well-known trust funds, not least that of the rather odd Rausing people (the descendants of the man who invented Tetrapak in Sweden); they also give or have given money to the mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” crowd.

How much Maugham pays himself (in effect) as Director of the GLP I have no idea (and the website of the GLP is silent on the subject).

I remember seeing Maugham on a “celebrity” episode of University Challenge. He stood out from the rest as combining a very-obviously huge opinion of himself with equally-huge ignorance of almost everything. Very funny.

I have no idea how well (or not) Jolyon Maugham was regarded as a tax barrister, before he launched “Woke Law Project”, but it gives pause for thought how many cases “GLP” has lost or not “won”.

As for Maugham being a KC, these days about 10% of all barristers hold letters patent as KC; it is not the accolade it once was. At one time, only a few barristers a year were made up to KC or QC; now dozens are.

“Jack Monroe” may not have ordered or asked for the above harassment to happen, but she is all the same behind it in the wider sense. She “doxxed” (revealed publicly the address of) the person involved, and she knows very well that her most fervent supporters are often those with mental health problems (as well as the very dim).

I myself have not yet read this instantly-infamous email, though I think that I can guess at least a little of what is in it.

Incidentally, Osborne is yet another part-Jew.

So many people assume that because one enemy of the people has “Conservative” on the label, and another “Labour“, that they are not both part of the System together, or are somehow “opposed”. Only superficially.

Exactly. Give a poor man £1 and he will almost certainly spend it, and have to spend it. Give £1 to a rich man and he will either bank it or buy a hedging asset (eg over-valued real property) with it.

Will such places one day be resettled, or will they stand forever as ruined testament to the horrors of war? I wonder.

Where is that? Chatham House, I think.

Funny, really. The remnants of the British Army apparently gearing up for a war with Russia; meanwhile, the UK is being invaded (“legally” or “illegally”) by about a million migrant-invaders every year. Soon there will be nothing much (for whatever is left of the Army, Royal Navy, and RAF) to defend…

The Jew Zelensky knows that his time is limited in terms of bringing NATO directly into war with Russia. The Western populations are tiring of “Ukraine” as a trendy cause, and Western governments are tiring of sending almost endless amounts of money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, especially now that the much-trumpeted counter-offensive has almost if not actually stalled.

Zelensky and his corrupt and brutal cabal have only one real chance— to bring NATO into the war directly on the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side. That therefore is their aim. Method? Perhaps to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant, blame that on Russia, and hope that NATO then either declares war on Russia (unlikely) or starts to fight without declaration of war (more likely).

We could well be looking at either full-scale nuclear war not far down the line, or at least full-scale conventional war in Europe alone, which might or might not later trigger a strategic nuclear exchange involving the USA.

Americans should think carefully before firing on Russia, or helping Western European states to do so. The USA may have several times the nuclear-destructive power of Russia overall, but if the top 50 cities of the USA were hit and/or destroyed by nuclear missiles, that means the end of American power (and society) for a century or more.

Yes, the USA might destroy as many or more Russian cities, but the USA would still be a chaotic mess of destroyed cities, violent social disorder, and tens of millions —perhaps hundreds of millions— of dead and dying. Think very very carefully before bringing such consequences on yourselves and others.

Thought

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

I have blogged for the past year or more that the best idea is for Russia to take the areas of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and for some Ukrainian successor to the Zelensky regime to control the larger area west of the Dnieper, and centred on Lvov. That would leave aside the Kiev area (which is on both sides of the Dnieper), Crimea, and the Black Sea littoral centred on Odessa.

Crimea was always Russian, with a mainly (now almost entirely) Russian population. Kiev should probably have some kind of special status, and Odessa either the same or a degree of autonomy, with Russia controlling the Black Sea coast to a depth of about 50-100 miles.

“Boris” Johnson and the Lebedev family

Saw a recording of a documentary (I think Channel 4) about “Boris”-idiot and the Lebedev father and son (with the old KGB, its successor-agencies, and British SIS and MI5, as spear-carriers).

The whole thing is rather odd, and there are certainly questions to be answered, but I cannot see Johnson as a Russian agent, not as such. For one thing, he is at root completely unideological; any such connection would be money-based or based upon getting help to push “Boris” upward (he was Foreign Secretary at the time he visited one of the Italian castles owned by the Lebedevs).

At the time, as now, the Lebedevs controlled msm outlets such as the Independent and Evening Standard.

My tentative conclusion at the end was that, possibly/probably what happened was that the younger Lebedev was offered a peerage for straight cash to “Boris”, paid somewhere offshore, protected by layers of (perhaps) offshore trusts and companies, such as Panamanian trusts and/or numbered bank accounts. A personal deal, nothing to do with the old KGB, or its SVR successor, though the details would no doubt be of interest to the latter, and to the Kremlin.

I concede that I have no evidence at all with which to back the above speculation. Pure speculation and hunch, backed only by the facts as known. Why did Johnson later nominate Lebedev junior for a peerage? Against Security Service and other advice, too.

Of course, at the time Johnson visited the Lebedevs in Italy, he was Foreign Secretary, not Prime Minister, so could not have nominated anyone for a peerage, but his unmerited likely elevation to No.10 was a good each-way bet at the time, and anyway no money need to have been paid unless and until.

If it happened, how much money? Name any figure north of £10M. £20M is good, £100M even better.

“Boris’s” pension.

Nuclear war visualization

I post that despite it having been posted first by a Kiev-regime supporter, because we should take even the possibility seriously, and stop stoking the fires of the war. Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending arms and ammunition, and money, to the Kiev regime.

Those with real power and influence in the West must stop the slide to nuclear war, before it is too late.

Do not forget “the men behind the wire”…

Re. that second poll, for me it means that 10% of the UK population are direct enemies of our country and people, that 27% are non-Brits and/or enemies and/or completely stupid, that 13% are stupid or totally unaware or blind to what is happening all around them, but that about 49% or 50%, half of the entire population, are aware and perhaps angry. What matters, though, is just how angry.

…or to put it another way, a near-plurality of voters think that both Sunak and Starmer are both incompetent and dishonest. I wonder why they might think that?

…and the present Waitrose situation is by reason of “a massive IT failure” at their head office in Bracknell (i.e. nothing to do with Brexit), or so I overheard this morning when getting a few “necessary” items (lottery tickets, kefir, pineapple juice, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean antipasti, Charentes croissants etc). Waitrose gave me a £5 voucher for next time.

I have noticed, in the past couple of years especially, a general lessening of choice, though, but not only at Waitrose. To my mind, UK supermarkets actually had a better selection of goods in 1988…

The System was pushing hard for David Miliband in 2010.

He belongs to the Trilateral Commission as well:

Membership in the Trilateral Commission is highly selective and by invitation only; as of 2021, there were roughly 400 members, including leading figures in politics, business, media, and academia. Each country within the three regions is assigned a quota of members reflecting its relative political and economic strength. The organization represents influential commercial and political interests that share a commitment to private enterprise and trade, multilateralism, and global governance; this has subjected it to criticism for elitism.”

When some supposed VIP goes to Kiev to meet Zelensky or one of his cabal, and to create a photo-opportunity, the streets around are deserted, except for any sole “local person” allowed to approach the foreign visitor to thank him for his country’s “support” (arms, ammunition, money); as when “Boris” Johnson visits.

So, those deserted streets. Are they cleared as a security measure, or has a large part of the civilian population of Kiev fled?

Still no “real people” (locals), only bodyguards, Army, police, TV crew(s), and Press photographers. Of what are they so afraid?

I have never expected much from Starmer. For one thing, he is a puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist lobby, even as compared to other System politicians. Also, he is as dull as ditchwater.

Beyond that, I have noticed (and have long blogged) that Starmer’s general attitude to the past 13 years of “Conservative” misgovernment has been to say, in effect, “we support workhouses, but they should be run more efficiently“.

Starmer is not only not a “socialist” in any meaningful way, but not even much of a social-democrat. A different label from the Conservative Party, but little else substantially different.

In fact, looking at how Starmer vacillates, fails to make up his mind (even as to what is “a woman”!), and tries to evade difficult moral choices, while mouthing “me too!” on various issues, I can see what a rotten Prime Minister he would make, just as I saw —years before most people— what a rotten PM “Boris”-idiot would make.

As time goes by, my view against Starmer becomes less and less favourable, not that it was actually ever favourable.

Quite.

Where were those “free speech” people when Jez Turner of London Forum was imprisoned for making a speech in Whitehall urging the removal of Jews from the UK? (I had better not add a further comment, in our “free country”!)…

Where were the same people when I myself was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016 for having tweeted five (the Jews had complained about hundreds!) entirely correct and true tweets about (mainly) Jews, and about Michael Gove etc?

The Jewish lobby also had my Twitter account taken down in 2018, and have, on several occasions, tried to have me arrested and prosecuted via entirely malicious complaints to the police (who may usually be useless at their proper job but are only too keen to play the “poundland KGB”).

This savage and unforgiving conflict will probably see huge escalation in 2023, especially in view of the refusal of the Kiev side to negotiate even a ceasefire unless Russian forces withdraw from all areas of mainland Ukraine and Crimea.

The Kiev side probably hopes that Putin will be deposed, and the war thus (?) ended. It may not work out that way, even if Putin does leave the scene.

The “Jack Monroe” Twitterstorm (etc) continues

A not atypical “Jack Monroe” supporter tweets. “Screenwriter and novelist” (unpublished?), and of a certain age. I have yet to see a Twitter pro-“Jack Monroe” defender who is either “young” (under 30) or in any way “poor”.

I have covered the Monty Python-esque “Jack Monroe” “advice” previously, in several blog posts, so do not want to repeat it all today, but the sheer nonsense of it is incredible (e.g. make a dinner for 11p per head; e.g. open cans using a knife and a mallet or hammer; e.g. make a curry by mixing a tin of peaches and one of chickpeas with some curry powder, and heat in a microwave, etc).

The many tweets below are worth considering:

Very modest— I doubt that “Jack Monroe” is pulling in less than £6,000 a month from Patreon alone.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to support, with a one-off £5 or so, a genuinely-poor and struggling couple, that lady (“@frugally-minded”) has a crowdfunder: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/heather-booth-3?utm_term=Gde7678Nq.

Having been “down there” in the pit of actual poverty a few times in my life (thankfully never for longer than a few months at a time), I am well-qualified to advise people how to really survive and even somewhat thrive in such circumstances, but I prefer not to publish openly my very valuable and learned/experienced advice. ‘Nuff said!

I notice that the number of “mugs” sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 each month via Patreon has now fallen to 623, as of time of writing; that’s about 25 fewer than yesterday. 25 mugs woke up (at last).

Stray idea

If you take as a notional starting-point the idea that there are about 40 million people of or over the age of 21 in the UK, and if you consider that the UK has an area of about 92,000 sq. miles, which is about 60 million acres, then that works out at, very roughly, 1.5 acres per person.

Now let us assume that the State took ownership over about 4%-5% of that land, in other words less than a tenth of an acre per person, allotted to any applicant such a plot, and let such people use the land allotted to them in a manner akin to an “allotment” (or, if they want, to do nothing with “their” land, which would help wildlife at least). It might have a huge effect, as well as helping poor people to feed themselves.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garden.

The details might need refining, and the concept would need organization, but I think that the basic idea would work.

Incidentally, if any object that the idea involves “expropriation”, I reply that that is so, but it would merely redress a small part of the balance from the time of the “Enclosures” of common land, and/or the “Highland Clearances”. The aim is, however, not backward-looking “revenge” but forward-looking policy.

That has been my impression. Apart from which, this whole idea that “poor people” —or others— need books of recipes is rather odd in the age of the Internet, when thousands of recipes of all types can be accessed in seconds and without payment.

I see from Twitter that, in face of the continuing and indeed increasing Twitterstorm, “Jack Monroe” has, once more, tried two of her favourite tactics— feigning illness, and withdrawing from Twitter interaction until the hue and cry dies down. She has done that (combination) frequently before, the last time only a few weeks ago. She always returns quite swiftly, ready to ignore the many cries of “will you refund the money you took?“.

Cookery books are bestsellers, quite often, but I wonder how many people (I presume mainly women) buy them but then never actually use them to make things? Not a rhetorical question. I actually do not know.

I do recall seeing, as a child of 10 (in 1967), several massive coffee-table-size books in the kitchen of my aunt-by-marriage, in Mosman, Sydney. I still recall the title of one: Larousse Gastronomique [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larousse_Gastronomique]. A huge and thick hardback book.

I have no idea whether my uncle’s wife ever actually cooked anything. I certainly never saw her make anything there, and that kitchen was as pristine as the rest of her large house on the side of a bay (Middle Harbour). There again, she had a cleaning lady and no less than three Norwegian au pairs (there to “assist” with her two adopted children— a baby and a small child), so perhaps the lack of mess or detritus was not surprising.

There was in fact one time I when I saw the said relative make something; in a holiday beach house at Palm Beach (in the area now called the Northern Beaches, the very northmost part of the Sydney area, but it was not called that then). The food in question was lobster with home-made (I think) mayonnaise, the first time I had eaten either; consumed outside. I do not recall having either lobster or proper mayonnaise again until I was in my twenties.
